A genocide in DR Congo, 6 million people have been killed, 500,000 women have been raped as military tool by militia men. The greatest humanitarian crisis since WWII, and yet this has gone unnoticed. This month, November, M23 rebels ceased Goma, in eastern Congo, as well as other regions, thus exacerbating the already unstable situation. The complicity of multinational organisations, and foreign governments from Africa and the West, comes into question. This issue needs to be brought to light.

This Is Not Just
"This is not just another war,
not just another group of rebels fighting without a cause,
puppets on a string, stealing riches from a nations poor,
people suffering. This not just another fight,
not another plight of a people as the screams of teenagers echo into the night,
we've turned pages in history,
gone from dark ages into the light but this is not just,
another struggle that we will one day leave behind.
Not just another thought on the back of our minds,
as long it doesn't interrupt with our lives,
we choose only that which our conscience can bare,
we lose our humanity, every time we stare, at a television,
every time we eat in McDonalds, on the window seat of a Starbucks
with a cappuccino reading the latest pop book,
every time we download an app on our iPhone, iPad, I am alone.
This is not just what happens here, to the little girl broken to pieces,
hiding her tears, never allow your fears to be greater than your dreams,
I rarely cry, but every time I write I shed streams.
This is not just poetry, this is a prayer. This is eyes closed, bended knees,
hands together in the air. This is for every struggle in humanity,
from the Middle East to East Congo, we are not alone.
This is not just for me,
this is for the homeless person, begging on the streets,
this is for the single mother, the clinically depressed, the war child,
the post-traumatic stress disorder, the daughter of a rape victim,
this is for the ones who cry, and for the ones who hold it all in,
the beautiful ones who are not yet born,
this is for the ones who struggle their whole lives and will only know scorn.
This is to humanity,
this is not just" (c)
